Custom Desk Pad

By 43 Comments

Hi Friends, this is Aly from Entirely Eventful Day.  I am so excited to be part of the A Little Tipsy Creative Team.  I have a really fun, easy, and inexpensive project for you today: How to make a DIY custom mouse pad.

This beauty cost me about $8 to make and it makes the biggest difference in my office.  My favorite thing about it is when I get tired of the pattern all I need to buy is a new roll of wrapping paper!

Start with a transparent desk pad.  I used this one from IKEA.
Here’s how I did it.  
1. I sprayed the bottom of the pad with Elmer’s Glue Brand spray adhesive.
2. Then I positioned the pad sticky side up on the ground and rolled the wrapping paper over it.  I made sure to line up the bottom edges for a nice straight line.

3. Next I cut off the roll part of the wrapping paper and flipped the mat over.

4. All that was left to do was to trim around the edges of the mat.  All done!

Note: You might need to add a little more spray adhesive to the corners once you have trimmed.  

I hope you make one of these for yourself.  Mine makes me so happy!  Until next time.

Shamrock Banner

By 8 Comments

Valentine’s is past and I’m feeling the green! I love St. Patrick’s Day not only because it is super fun decor, but because my ancestor had a part in it. No really, he was the guy who kidnapped St. Patrick. Pretty funny right? Anyhow I wanted a project I could do with my 5 year old and this shamrock banner was just the ticket. It has got to be the easiest St. Patrick Craft ever! You need only four supplies.

SUPPLIES:
The Martha Stewart Circle Edge Punch is meant to make decorative circles like these, which are awesome and versatile which I love. But, I like to think out of the box and see what else it might be able to do besides paper circles.
I discovered that the punch lines up perfectly with the curves of the shamrock. Tra la, what a day!
I got to work punching the edges of all the plain green shamrocks. I figured the glitter ones were enough on their own.
I adore how the punch adds a more Celtic feel!
Next just get your glue dots and glue the shamrocks to the jute alternating punched and glittered. Be sure to use a few glue dots, or the shamrocks will fall off.

Now just find the perfect place to hang it, below a shelf, on a mantle, on a railing, you decide.
